[Advisors] How do you teach digital literacy -- CIRA forum

[Thompson, Darlene]

I just can't agree with Bernie more.  A big part of the problem, though, is=
 that the schools themselves often don't see themselves in this light, beyo=
nd their own narrow mandate and the tendency to become little fiefdoms.

Marita,
In my view you have summed up the problem very well. I believe we need
a re-definition of the CAP Program which is appropriate for 2013. Too
many people are still thinking of the initial role played by CAP.  We
have gone far beyond that and a new statement and a new approach are
required. I spent my entire working life in one form of education or
another and I am concerned that so few communities see their schools
as learning/training centres for all.
